I have TruAudio system. My amp is the Crown 1000. I want to run it through my Sonos system and would prefer to have the ability to control volume via my phone on the Sonos App. Can someone please advise me on what parts I will need to make this happen?
Cross posted from /r/SonosI'd like to make the most out of my 30% upgrade from my Play: 5 (1st gen) purchased in mid 2015. I currently use it in my dining room primarily - it sits atop a bookshelf - but also will use it outdoors when entertaining due to its superior volume over my Sonos One and more portable than my Beam. I considered upgrading my Beam to a more full HT setup, but as my living room isn't square, setting up surround sound wouldn't work nicely even using in ceiling or wall speakers, in relation to where people sit. Adding to that the fact my wife would rather I not spend more than what the Play: 5 was, I am leaning towards something of a hybrid approach that I would like insight into: Connect Amp + hard switch speaker selection. I know it’s possible but I have yet to find a switch that would let me alternate one set vs another so I might just unplug/plug the other speakers when needed, so I don’t turn up the outdoor speakers and blast the indoor way too much. Less of a
I have an extensive Sonos setup but have not used TruePlay. I am not an Apple person but may wish to acquire an ios device for the sole purpose of configuring TruePlay. What would be the best ios device to look for for this purpose?
Hi, I am planing to buy a soundbar in India and have shortlisted Sonos Arc soundbar. While reading a review, I read that Sonos TruePlay does not work with Android devices. I could not understand what does it mean.. can I not use it as I don't have any Apple device.If yes, any other alternative in India for a soundbar?Also, does it work well without Sub and SL?
Hey there. I have a black Play 5 Gen 2 and it doesn’t work for my set up anymore. I’m looking to add 2 Beams and a Roam (all in white) so would love to trade the Play 5 for any of those.
Hi,I just ordered a projector and the newest apple tv 4k. Since I'm already a happy Sonos user (basically just have two Play:1 units), I would love to continue with that.From my research I figured that I have these options: Connect the ATV to bluetooth, for instance a sonos roam and then group the roam w. the other older units which – as I understand would make all of them play? Connect the ATV via Airplay 2, for instance to a Sonos One.. I heard that is has the caveat of having to re-connect every time, but might provide a better solution? I know that this is not what the above equipment was designed to do, so not looking for that kind of input.The whole idea of the projector setup is to have a big screen when I need it and then tuck it away when not using it and soundwise I want to be able to use the speakers for music as well.Any constructive input on the above?Thanks in advanceLars
So I’ve recently bought a new TV and am finding the speakers pretty rubbish. I was looking at getting a Sonos product however am now torn between getting just the Arc or a Beam and adding two Ones to go along with it. Does Dolby Atmos really make that much of a difference that it can outshine two surround speakers?
Hello all,I used to have a Sonos S1, and I loved the sound. It used it mainly to listen to music, but I really missed being able to play music from my laptop's browser (running MS Windows). So, now that I see that the Sonos Move includes the possibility to connect by Bluetooth, I am seriously considering to buy it.The move seems to tick all my checkmarks: enough sound for a room, possibility to carry it around the house (including kitchen, 2 rooms, bathroom and balcony), and multiple wireless inputs. However, I see that it cannot be connected directly to the TV via a wired connection (I have a Samsung QLED 65Q74T, 2020). On the other hand, the TV can use Bluetooth external speakers, and also has Airplay 2. So, I have the following questions:If I watch a movie on the TV and sync it via Bluetooth with the Move, will I have lip-sync delay? If the answer to number 1 is yes, should I buy a Sonos Beam, to connect via wire to the TV, and sync it with the Move? I have seen around contradictory
I am setting up a new system. My options for amplification include two Sonos amps or a Sonos port with a Russound D850 4 zoneThis will drive two Martin Logan tower speakers and 4 in ceiling speakers and possibly subwoofer.Any advice? Better sound with either? $300 more to go with the two Sonos vs other)Sorry for “aonos” -won’t let me edit title)thanks!
Dear Sonos, I ordered a Sonos Arc to a local French Reseller end of may 2021, and it seems there is no date on delivery... and on the Sonos French site you mention minimum early July for a purchase on your site. What is happening on the production of ARCs ? Why so long delays? How can you help? I sold my beam and now my home theater with my ones and sub is no more working...
Has anyone resived there roam from sonos yet cheers
I want to add a sonos one sl to my existing network (bridge, play 3’s and two play 1’s)Will I need to replace the bridge with a boost in order for the one sl to work? Will the play 3’s work with the boost & S2 app?
Hey There!I buy speakers with my company and when we put our VAT number, it would zero rate the VAT. Now the VAT number is returning a no Response message… is this no longer the case? Thanks in advance
Thinking of a set up for a new home “office”.I planned to use a Sonos amp connected to 2 ceiling speakers for music. Simple. I also wondered if I could connect in the TV using hdmi arc and have the tv sound come from the same ceiling speakers. Wouldn’t necessarily need to be in stereo although it may work. The question is would the sound be ok from the tv purely though the 2 speakers without any sound bar etc? Or would it maybe sound bad as I would need a sound bar and set the as a stereo pair? It’s a lot to invest if it is going to not sound great. If that is the case I will just get a sound bar and play tv and music though that. anyone tested this set up or have any comments!? thanks!
Hello! I recently purchased and built a new home but did not install any surround house in the home. I currently have a Sonos Beam and two Sonos One SL that I purchased from costco for my living room TV to play TV/Movies and music from my app/smart TV. I am curious what I could do for my kitchen, entryway and covered patio for sound - is it possible to purchase the Sonos AMP and place in-wall speakers from another vendor in the respective rooms? If I went that route could I create different zones such as; Living Room TV//Speakers Entryway Garage Outside All Speakers playing the same What can I do to add-in a wall control inside and on the back patio? Can I use the Brilliant controls to connect my Ring cameras, Sonos Audio, etc? What’s the best wall control to use so that we could turn it down without needing to go to a mobile device on the Sonos app? Is this possible to do? What would I need? Could I set them to all be on the same account//zone?
Hello,Ive been interested in investing in Sonos 5.1 surround sound stereo system, but confused with today’s technology. I presently have a stereo, RCA, wired, but would like to have better quality speakers. So, I thought Sonia speakers would be ideal. However, I’m not sure where to buy wired speakers. Everything seems to be Bluetooth wireless. I prefer landline for Bluetooth skips too much and clarity lacks on cloudy days. Where can I buy Sonos 5.1 surround sound stereo system and hook it up to my stereo?Thank you,RockyRoc
Hi,i have a lot of different Sonos models in my House, all connected via wifi from a wifi-6 Mesh router set-up.Some speakers are in pair-connection and others are alone in a Room. Sometimes when i play Music on all speakers, There is a short lack of Sound from one or more of the speaker/speakers.sometimes just one speaker from a paired connection looses the Sound for a minute or so, and other times it’s just random which Room loses the Sound. I’m i the only one the experience this?and is There a smart solution to this, Sonos boost or something Else?
Hi,I’m investing in Sonos environment and I will buy soon a Sonos amp to power some in-ceiling speakers and I was wondering whether I could “recycle” and integrate in my Sonos environment one speaker I bought years ago which has an amazing sound.It is a Geneva Lab model M speaker which is basically as powered speaker with a dock for iphone on the top, a radio tuner inside and also a Line-In 3.5mm plug at the back.Here’s an idea of the Geneva Speaker, this link is for the S model which basically the same but without the Iphone dock on the the top:https://appleinsider.com/articles/13/08/31/review-geneva-lab-model-s-wireless-speaker Do you think I could connect the Sonos amp to the Line-In of my Geneva speaker in order to stream music to all my Sonos speakers but also the the Geneva speaker?I that’s possible, what sort of materials/accessories is required to connect both?Many thanks in advance for your advice!
Can you still trade in a unit that won’t power on ? I have a sonos connect that has never been connected to my system that won’t power on. Can I trade this in or does it need to connect to my system ? Thanks for the help.. Burned by a looser from Kijii.
Hello, I’m considering to get sonos equipment for home theater (beam + 2 one SL as rear speakers + sub).I have a turntable that I want to be able to listen on this system.Instead of buying a port, I consider buying a sonos 5 on wich you can plug an external source.————————————————— TVsub beam sonos5 turntable couchoneSL oneSL—————————————————My question is, if everything is in the same room, will I be able to listen my records on every speakers at the same time (sonos 5 would « send » music on every other devices) ?If so, do you know how stereo will be rendered ? thank you for your help
I am considering buying a Play 3 speaker with a smaller support speaker like a Sonus 1. One concern I have is, can updates with the iphone, make the Sonus incompatible?
Noticed That a local retailer has the playbase open box for 200.00 or new 286.00 (USD). I know that this is a discontinued item, and nowhere near the Arc, but the price seems right, I already have a pair of Play 1s in my living room. Think I could get a few years of enjoyment out of it and would it add any additional dimension to music if paired up with the play 1s. It would easily accommodate my current setup both physically and astetically fit my Any thoughtsappreciated...
I’m moving soon into a place with 5 wired, in-ceiling speakers, but also have 2 sonos play:1s currently. I was thinking of getting the Sonos amp to utilize both, but not sure if that would be the best way to connect and use all of these speakers (or if that’s even possible). Or I guess I could use 2 of the ceiling speakers and my 2 sonos speakers to create surround too I think. Let me know if anyone has any advice!
My TV: Samsung un40h5003afStreaming Box: Mi Box 3My room: It's a fairly large room (25x15 feet) though I don't need to fill it all (neighbors). The TV and the couch are about 10 feet apart. The TV has 2 HDMI ports (one used for the Mi Box, the other says “HDMI/DVI” but I’ve had an Xbox on it with success in the past) and an optical out (no ARC). The spec says that it supports DTS digital output, Dolby Digital Plus output, Dolby Pulse output.The manual [1] says “The SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital InterFace) outputs an uncompressed digital audio signal when you connect the digital audio jack on the back of the TV to a digital audio in jack on a receiver or home theater. Audio Format: You can select the Digital Audio output (SPDIF) format. The available Digital Audio output format may differ depending on the input source. ✎ By connecting the TV to a receiver or home theater with Dolby Digital and 5.1ch speakers and selecting Dolby Digital, you can maximize your interactive 3D sound experienc
This is 3 questions in 1 post. Can I keep my old products (or sell them or give them to family?) when taking advantage of the upgrade or do I need to send them back in order to take advantage of the offer?If selling/giving away, do I just do a factory reset? Do I then need to dis-associate them from my account?Is the Sonos Boost mandatory if moving to S2?
